CaCHE Governance

The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) began its work in September 2017. It has been funded for five years by the Economic and Social Research Council, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. CaCHE is led by Professor Ken Gibb at the University of Glasgow. CaCHE’s academic work is based around seven themes. I am the academic lead for the Governance theme.

Our work programme in the first year focused upon how ideas from the literature on policy transfer and policy translation have been utilised in housing studies. I also produced a working paper on governance that was one of a series of CaCHE papers that fed into conversation during the development of the English Housing Green Paper.

Over the next two years we will be working on a broad range of issues including:

Resident involvement in housing governance

The evidence base on rent regulation

Drivers of performance in social housing

Data, governance and values in social housing

Are housing problems wicked problems?

We will also be collaborating with The Disputes Service on a programme of work on the private rented sector.
